Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1. Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Viad and its subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany account balances and transactions in consolidation. Nature of Business We are a leading global provider of extraordinary experiences, including hospitality and leisure activities, experiential marketing, and live events. We operate through three reportable segments: Pursuit, Spiro, and GES Exhibitions. During the first quarter of 2022, we rebranded GES’ brand experiences business and introduced Spiro to the market to accelerate our growth by servicing the changing needs of today’s brand marketers across a broader spectrum of their experiential marketing needs. Spiro and GES Exhibitions are both live event businesses and are collectively referred to as “GES.” Pursuit Pursuit is a collection of inspiring and unforgettable travel experiences that includes recreational attractions, unique hotels and lodges, food and beverage, retail, sightseeing, and ground transportation services. Pursuit comprises the Banff Jasper Collection, the Alaska Collection, the Glacier Park Collection, FlyOver, and Sky Lagoon. Spiro Spiro is an experiential marketing agency that partners with leading brands around the world to manage and elevate their global experiential marketing activities. GES Exhibitions GES Exhibitions is a global exhibition services company that partners with leading exhibition and conference organizers as a full-service provider of strategic and logistics solutions to manage the complexity of their shows. Impact of COVID-19 and Macroeconomic Factors The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the economies of countries in which we operate, including supply chain and labor challenges, and the ability of guests to travel from certain countries. However, during 2022 international tourism and live event activity continued to improve and demand for our products and services remained strong. It is not currently possible to estimate the duration and continued evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore no assurance can be given that an extended period of global economic disruption would not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations in future periods. During 2022, changes in macroeconomic facts and circumstances, particularly high inflation and the resulting rise in interest rates, has increased our interest expense. The additional impacts of these macroeconomic developments on our operations cannot be predicted with certainty, but could have adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations in future periods. Reclassifications During the first quarter of 2022, we changed our segment reporting as a result of operational changes and how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews the financial performance of GES and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources. As a result, we changed the presentation of certain items in GES’ disaggregation of revenue and reportable segments. Refer to Note 2 – Revenue and Related Contract Costs and Contract Liabilities and Note 23 – Segment Information for additional information. We reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to current-period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our results of operations or cash flows. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things: impairment testing of recorded goodwill and intangible assets and long-lived assets; allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable; sales reserve allowances; provisions for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions; valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets; liabilities for losses related to self-insured liability claims; liabilities for losses related to environmental remediation obligations; sublease income associated with restructuring liabilities; pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations; share-based compensation costs; the discount rates used to value lease obligations; the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests; and the allocation of purchase price of acquired businesses. These estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions, such as the uncertainty regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, global inflationary pressures, and volatility in foreign exchange rates. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents are highly-liquid investments with remaining maturities when purchased of three months or less . Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank demand deposits. Restricted cash represents collateral required for surety bonds, bank guarantees, letters of credit , and corporate credit cards. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consisted of the following: December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 59,719 $ 61,600 Restricted cash included in other current assets 4,845 2,703 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows $ 64,564 $ 64,303 Allowances for Doubtful Accounts Allowances for doubtful accounts reflect the best estimate of expected losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The allowances for doubtful accounts, including a sales allowance for discounts at the time of sale, are based upon an evaluation of the aging of receivables, historical trends, and the current economic environment. Inventories We state inventories, which consist primarily of exhibit design and construction materials and supplies, as well as retail inventory, at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out and specific identification methods) or net realizable value. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: buildings, 15 to 40 years; equipment, 3 to 12 years; and leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the lease term or useful life. Property and equipment are tested for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable through undiscounted cash flows. Leases We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the balance sheet and classify leases as either finance or operating leases. The classification of the lease determines whether we recognize the lease expense on an effective interest method basis (finance lease) or on a straight-line basis (operating lease) over the lease term. In determining whether an agreement contains a lease, we consider if we have a right to control the use of the underlying asset during the lease term in exchange for an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities at commencement date, which is when the underlying asset is available for use to a lessee, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our operating and finance leases are primarily facility, equipment, and land leases. Our facility leases comprise mainly manufacturing facilities, sales and design facilities, offices, storage and/or warehouses, and truck marshaling yards for our GES business. These facility leases have lease terms ranging up to 29 years. Our equipment leases comprise mainly vehicles, hardware, and office equipment, each with various lease terms. Our land leases comprise mainly leases in Canada and Iceland on which our Pursuit hotels or attractions are located and have lease terms ranging up to 46 years. If a lease contains a renewal option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, then the lease term includes the optional periods in measuring a ROU asset and lease liability. We evaluate the reasonably certain threshold at lease commencement, and it is typically met if we identify substantial economic incentives or termination penalties. We do not include variable leases and variable non-lease components in the calculation of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability. For facility leases, variable lease costs include the costs of common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance for which we pay our lessors an estimate that is adjusted to actual expense on a quarterly or annual basis depending on the underlying contract terms. We expense these variable lease payments as incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Substantially all of our lease agreements do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, and as such, we utilize an incremental borrowing rate based on lease term and country in order to calculate the present value of our future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a risk-adjusted rate on a collateralized basis and is the expected rate at which we would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with the lease term and the country. We are also a lessor to third party tenants who either lease certain portions of facilities that we own or sublease certain portions of facilities that we lease. We record lease income from owned facilities as rental income and we record sublease income from leased facilities as an offset to lease expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We classify all of our leases for which we are the lessor as operating leases. Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of October 31, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We use a discounted expected future cash flow methodology (income approach) to estimate the fair value of our reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. The estimates and assumptions regarding expected future cash flows, discount rates, and terminal values require considerable judgment and are based on market conditions, financial forecasts, industry trends, and historical experience. These estimates, however, have inherent uncertainties and different assumptions could lead to materially different results. Self-Insurance Liabilities We are self-insured up to certain limits for workers’ compensation and general liabilities, which includes automobile, product general liability, and client property loss claims. We have also retained and provided for certain workers’ compensation insurance liabilities in conjunction with previously sold operations. We are also self-insured for certain employee health benefits. Provisions for losses for claims incurred, including actuarially derived estimated claims incurred but not yet reported, are made based on historical experience, claims frequency, and other factors. We have purchased insurance for amounts in excess of the self-insured levels. Environmental Remediation Liabilities Environmental remediation liabilities represent the estimated cost of environmental remediation obligations primarily associated with previously sold operations. The amounts accrued primarily consist of the estimated direct incremental costs, on an undiscounted basis, for contractor and other services related to remedial actions and post-remediation site monitoring. Environmental remediation liabilities are recorded when the specific obligation is considered probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. Subsequent recoveries from third parties, if any, are recorded through discontinued operations when realized. Environmental insurance is maintained that provides coverage for new and undiscovered pre-existing conditions at both our continuing and discontinued operations. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Refer to Note 12 – Debt and Finance Obligations for the estimated fair value of debt obligations. Convertible Preferred Stock We record shares of convertible preferred stock based on proceeds received net of costs on the date of issuance. Dividends paid-in-kind increase the redemption value of the preferred stock. Redeemable preferred stock (including preferred stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as mezzanine equity and is reported between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncontrolling Interests – Non-redeemable and Redeemable Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. We report non-redeemable noncontrolling interest within stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to Viad and the non-redeemable noncontrolling interest is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We consider noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within our control to be redeemable noncontrolling interests. Our redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to our 56.4 % equity ownership interest in Esja Attractions ehf. (“Esja”), which owns the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The Esja shareholders agreement contains a put option that gives the minority Esja shareholders the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a calculated formula within a predefined term. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is considered mezzanine equity and we report it between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of the net income or loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the accretion of the redemption value is recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings or accumulated deficit and is included in our income (loss) per share. Refer to Note 22 – Noncontrolling Interests – Redeemable and Non-redeemable for additional information. Foreign Currency Translation Our foreign operations are primarily in Canada, the United Kingdom, Iceland, the Netherlands, Germany, and to a lesser extent, in certain other countries. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is their local currency. Accordingly, for purposes of consolidation, we translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The unrealized gains or losses resulting from the translation of these foreign denominated assets and liabilities are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For purposes of consolidation, revenue, expenses, gains, and losses related to our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the period. We also have certain loans and leases in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency, which results in gains or losses as exchange rates fluctuate and are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on a specified amount of consideration in a contract with a customer, net of commissions paid to customers and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a product or delivering the service to a customer. Pursuit’s service revenue is derived through its admissions, accommodations, and transportation services. Product revenue is derived through food and beverage and retail sales. Revenue is recognized at the time services are performed or upon delivery of the product. Pursuit’s service revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits, and product revenue is recognized at a point in time. GES’ service revenue is primarily derived through its comprehensive range of marketing, event production, and other related services to event organizers and corporate brand marketers. GES’ service revenue is earned over time over the duration of the live event, which generally lasts one to three days. Revenue for goods and services provided for which we do not have control of the goods or services before that good or service is transferred to a customer is recorded on a net basis to reflect only the fees received for arranging these services. GES’ product revenue is derived from the build of exhibits, environments, and graphics and is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the product. Share-Based Compensation Share-based compensation costs related to all share-based payment awards are recognized and measured using the fair value method of accounting. These awards generally include restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), and stock options, and contain forfeiture and non-compete provisions. We issue share-based payment awards from shares held in treasury. Future vesting is generally subject to continued employment. Holders of share-based awards have the right to receive dividends and vote the shares, but may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber the stock, except to the extent restrictions have lapsed and in accordance with our stock trading policy. We account for share-based payment awards that will be settled in cash as liability-based awards, which includes PRSUs and restricted stock units. We measure share-based compensation expense of liability-based awards at fair value at each reporting date until the date of settlement based on the number of units expected to vest and, where applicable, the level of achievement of predefined performance goals. These awards are remeasured on each reporting date based on our stock price and the Monte Carlo simulation model. A Monte Carlo simulation requires the use of several assumptions, including historical volatility and correlation between our stock price and the price of the common shares of a comparator group, a risk-free rate of return, and an expected term. Share-based compensation expense related to liability-based awards is recognized ratably over the requisite service period of approximately three years . We account for share-based awards that will be settled in shares of our common stock as equity-based awards, which include PRSUs, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards. We measure share-based compensation expense of equity-based awards at fair value on the grant date on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The estimated number of shares to be achieved is updated each reporting period based on the number of units expected to vest and, where applicable, the level of achievement of predefined performance goals, until the date of settlement. Share-based compensation expense related to equity-based awards is recognized ratably over the requisite service period ranging from one to three years . The fair value of stock option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model. We grant non-qualified stock options that are performance-based and service-based. The performance-based awards are recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period ranging up to 3.4 years, and the underlying shares expected to be settled are adjusted each reporting period based on estimated future achievement of the respective performance metrics. The service-based awards are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period on a graded-vesting schedule ranging from one to three years . The exercise price of stock options is based on the market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Common Stock in Treasury Common stock purchased for treasury is recorded at historical cost. Subsequent share reissuances are primarily related to share-based compensation programs and recorded at weighted-average cost. Income (Loss) Per Common Share Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class method or as-converted method. The two-class method uses net income (loss) available to common stockholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares other than the participating securities. The as-converted method uses net income (loss) available to common shareholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares including the participating securities. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted share units and convertible preferred stock. We apply the two-class method in calculating income (loss) per common share as unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and preferred stock are considered participating securities. Accordingly, such securities are included in the earnings allocation in calculating income (loss) per share. The adjustment to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is reflected in income (loss) per common share. Government Assistance We received government assistance of approximately $ 2.7 million in 2022, $ 21.6 million in 2021, and $ 27.7 million in 2020. Benefits received were primarily from the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) program, the United Kingdom’s COVID Job Retention Scheme (“CJRS”), and two Netherlands programs referred to as NOW and TVL. We have no provisions for recapture and are currently completing the audit process for the NOW proceeds received in 2021. The CEWS program was implemented by the Canadian government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic for businesses operating in Canada. Our Canadian subsidiaries within Pursuit and GES qualified for and applied for these CEWS cash benefits to partially offset the impacts of revenue reductions and on-going staffing costs. During 2022, GES received approximately $ 1.4 million in CEWS benefits. During 2021, Pursuit received approximately $ 11.6 million and GES received approximately $ 1.9 million. During 2020, Pursuit received approximately $ 12.8 million and GES received approximately $ 1.2 million. The CEWS benefits were recorded to “Costs of services” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The CJRS program was implemented by the United Kingdom government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to allow employers to retain and continue to pay their furloughed employees. Furloughed employees were paid 80 % of their salary up to a maximum of GBP 2,500 per month. During July 2021, employers were required to contribute 10 % of the furloughed employees salary, which increased to 2 0 % before the program closed on September 30, 2021. Payments were handled by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, or HMRC. GES received approximately $ 0.9 million in 2021 and $ 8.4 million in 2020, which were recorded to “Costs of services” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The NOW and TVL programs were implemented by the Dutch government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The NOW program is a temporary emergency bridging measure to reimburse up to 85 % of employees’ salaries. This program is still in effect and payments are handled by the Employee Insurance Agency, or UWV. The TVL program is a business support program focused on non-labor business expenses. The amounts claimed is based on lost income of more than 30 %. Payments are handled by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, or RVO. GES received approximately $ 0.6 million in 2022, $ 3.0 million in 2021, and $ 2.2 million in 2020 for both NOW and TVL programs, which were recorded to “Costs of services” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining benefits received were from various other programs totaling $ 0.7 million in 2022, $ 4.2 million in 2021, and $ 3.1 million in 2020.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue and Related Contract Costs and Contract Liabilities	Note 2. Revenue and Related Contract Costs and Contract Liabilities Pursuit’s performance obligations are short-term in nature. They include the provision of a hotel room, an attraction admission, a chartered or ticketed bus or van ride, and/or the sale of food, beverage, or retail products. We recognize revenue when the service has been provided or the product has been delivered. When we extend credit, payment terms are generally within 30 days and contain no significant financing components. GES’ performance obligations consist of services or product(s) outlined in a contract. While we often sign multi-year contracts for recurring events, the obligations for each occurrence are well defined and conclude upon the occurrence of each event. The obligations are typically the provision of services and/or sale of a product in connection with a live event. Revenue for goods and services provided for which we do not have control of the goods or services before that good or service is transferred to a customer is recorded on a net basis to reflect only the fees received for arranging these services. We recognize revenue for services generally at the close of the live event. We recognize revenue for products either upon delivery to the customer’s location, upon delivery to an event that we are serving, or when we have the right to invoice. In circumstances where a customer cancels a contract, we generally have the right to bill the customer for costs incurred to date. Payment terms are generally within 30 - 60 days and contain no significant financing components . Contract Liabilities Pursuit and GES typically receive customer deposits prior to transferring the related product or service to the customer. We record these deposits as a contract liability, which are recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of the related contract performance obligation(s). GES also provides customer rebates and volume discounts to certain event organizers that we recognize as a reduction of revenue. We include customer deposits in “Contract liabilities” and “Other deferred items and liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes to contract liabilities are as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 18,618 Cash additions 147,814 Revenue recognized ( 126,573 ) Foreign exchange translation adjustment ( 197 ) Balance at December 31, 2021 39,662 Cash additions 158,567 Revenue recognized ( 151,408 ) Foreign exchange translation adjustment ( 2,064 ) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 44,757 Contract Costs GES capitalizes certain incremental costs incurred in obtaining and fulfilling contracts. Capitalized costs principally relate to direct costs of materials and services incurred in fulfilling services of future live events, and also include up-front incentives and commissions incurred upon contract signing. We expense costs associated with preliminary contract activities (i.e. proposal activities) as incurred. Capitalized contract costs are expensed upon the transfer of the related goods or services and are included in “Costs of services” or “Costs of products” as applicable . We include the deferred incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling contracts in “Current contract costs” and “Other investments and assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes to contract costs are as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 10,835 Additions 31,923 Expenses ( 27,935 ) Cancelled ( 976 ) Foreign exchange translation adjustment ( 57 ) Balance at December 31, 2021 13,790 Additions 62,038 Expenses ( 58,561 ) Foreign exchange translation adjustment ( 699 ) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 16,568 As of December 31, 2022 , capitalized contract costs consisted of $ 16.6 million to fulfill contracts. We did no t recognize an impairment loss with respect to capitalized contract costs during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021. Disaggregation of Revenue The following tables disaggregate Pursuit and GES revenue by major service and product lines, timing of revenue recognition, and markets served: Pursuit During the first quarter of 2022, we reallocated certain ancillary revenue presented in Pursuit’s services revenue to better align with how we analyze revenue and depict the nature of revenue. All prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this new presentation. Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Services: Ticket revenue $ 114,936 $ 61,166 $ 19,939 Rooms revenue 77,019 57,603 26,383 Transportation 12,460 5,591 2,694 Other 14,143 8,564 3,567 Total services revenue 218,558 132,924 52,583 Products: Food and beverage 47,275 28,953 10,295 Retail operations 33,494 25,171 13,932 Total products revenue 80,769 54,124 24,227 Total revenue $ 299,327 $ 187,048 $ 76,810 Timing of revenue recognition: Services transferred over time $ 218,558 $ 132,924 $ 52,583 Products transferred at a point in time 80,769 54,124 24,227 Total revenue $ 299,327 $ 187,048 $ 76,810 Markets: Banff Jasper Collection $ 152,863 $ 82,728 $ 46,913 Alaska Collection 39,434 37,344 6,282 Glacier Park Collection 57,760 45,276 17,596 FlyOver 24,445 10,693 6,019 Sky Lagoon (1) 24,825 11,007 — Total revenue $ 299,327 $ 187,048 $ 76,810 (1) We opened Pursuit’s Sky Lagoon attraction in Reykjavik, Iceland on April 30, 2021. GES During the first quarter of 2022, we changed our segment reporting as a result of operational changes and how our CODM reviews the financial performance of GES and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Accordingly, GES’ new reportable segments are Spiro and GES Exhibitions. As a result, we changed certain items in the following disaggregation of revenue table. All prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the new reporting structure. Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Service lines: Spiro $ 277,641 $ 116,587 $ 102,027 GES Exhibitions 557,880 209,529 238,705 Intersegment eliminations ( 7,537 ) ( 5,824 ) ( 2,107 ) Total revenue $ 827,984 $ 320,292 $ 338,625 Timing of revenue recognition: Services transferred over time $ 693,482 $ 268,218 $ 298,945 Products transferred over time (1) 51,134 18,551 15,517 Products transferred at a point in time 83,368 33,523 24,163 Total revenue $ 827,984 $ 320,292 $ 338,625 Geographical markets: North America $ 675,628 $ 243,983 $ 288,921 EMEA 176,086 82,242 53,384 Intersegment eliminations ( 23,730 ) ( 5,933 ) ( 3,680 ) Total revenue $ 827,984 $ 320,292 $ 338,625 (1) GES’ graphics product revenue is earned over time over the duration of an event as it is considered a part of the single performance obligation satisfied over time.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2022
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Note 3. Share-Based Compensation We grant share-based compensation awards to our officers, directors, and certain key employees pursuant to the 2017 Viad Corp Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan has a 10-year term and provides for the following types of awards: (a) incentive and non-qualified stock options; (b) restricted stock awards and restricted stock units; (c) performance units or performance shares; (d) stock appreciation rights; (e) cash-based awards; and (f) certain other stock-based awards. In June 2017, we reserved 1,750,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan. On May 24, 2022, we amended and restated the 2017 Plan, which among other things, increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 840,000 shares, thus bringing the total number of reserved shares to 2,590,000 . As of December 31, 2022, there were 1,202,763 shares available for future grant under the 2017 Plan. The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Performance-based restricted stock units $ 541 $ 549 $ ( 2,187 ) Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units 6,703 5,451 4,523 Stock options 2,997 1,727 317 Share-based compensation expense before income tax 10,241 7,727 2,653 Income tax benefit (1) ( 117 ) ( 82 ) — Share-based compensation expense, net of income tax $ 10,124 $ 7,645 $ 2,653 (1) The 2022 and 2021 income tax benefit amount primarily reflects the tax benefit associated with our Canadian-based employees. There was no income tax benefit in 2020 associated with our employees in the United States and the United Kingdom due to a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets within these jurisdictions. Refer to Note 17 – Income Taxes . We recorded no share-based compensation expense through restructuring charges in 2022, 2021 or 2020. No share-based compensation costs were capitalized during 2022, 2021, or 2020. Performance-based Restricted Stock Units Performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) are tied to our stock price and the expected achievement of certain performance-based criteria. The vesting of PRSUs is based upon the achievement of the performance-based criteria over a three to four-year period. We account for PRSUs that will be settled in shares of our common stock as equity-based awards. We measure share-based compensation expense of equity-based awards at fair value on the grant date on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The estimated number of units to be achieved is updated each reporting period. We account for PRSUs that will be settled in cash as liability-based awards. We measure share-based compensation expense of liability-based awards at fair value at each reporting date until the date of settlement. Forfeitures are recorded when they occur. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we granted PRSUs with a grant date fair value of $ 2.4 million, all of which are payable in shares. In 2022, PRSUs granted in 2019 vested and we paid $ 0.4 million in cash. No PRSUs were paid in shares in 2022. In 2021, PRSUs granted in 2018 vested; however, as performance metrics were not achieved, no awards were paid in cash or in shares. In 2020, PRSUs granted in 2017 vested and we paid $ 2.6 million in cash. No PRSUs were paid in shares in 2020. As of December 31, 2022, the unamortized cost of outstanding equity-based PRSUs was $ 1.6 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years. Liabilities related to liability-based PRSUs were zero as of December 31, 2022 and $ 0.7 million as of December 31, 2021. The following table summarizes the activity of the outstanding PRSU awards: Equity-Based Liability-Based Shares Weighted-Average Shares Weighted-Average Balance at December 31, 2021 134,152 $ 37.30 77,746 $ 57.13 Granted 65,000 $ 36.46 — $ — Vested — $ — ( 36,758 ) $ 58.31 Forfeited ( 97,367 ) $ 43.03 ( 913 ) $ 56.23 Balance at December 31, 2022 101,785 $ 31.28 40,075 $ 56.06 Service-based Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are service-based awards. We account for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units that will be settled in shares of our common stock as equity-based awards. We measure share-based compensation expense of equity-based awards at fair value on the grant date on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We account for restricted stock units that will be settled in cash as liability-based awards. We measure share-based compensation expense of liability-based awards at fair value at each reporting date until the date of settlement. Forfeitures are recorded when they occur. As of December 31, 2022, the unamortized cost of outstanding equity-based restricted stock awards and restricted stock units was $ 8.1 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.3 years. We withheld 43,887 shares for $ 1.4 million during 2022, 37,686 shares for $ 1.6 million during 2021, and 42,185 shares for $ 1.7 million during 2020 related to tax withholding requirements on vested share-based awards.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Note 4. Acquisitions and Disposition 2022 Acquisition Glacier Raft Company On April 6, 2022, we acquired the Glacier Raft Company, which provides guided river rafting trips operating in Pursuit’s West Glacier, Montana operations. The Glacier Raft Company also owns 13 log cabins, a lodge, and a wedding venue located on 50 acres with views into Glacier National Park. The purchase price was $ 26.5 million in cash. This acquisition was funded via cash on hand of approximately $ 11.5 million and borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $ 15.0 million. The following table summarizes the final allocation of the aggregate purchase price paid and amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. (in thousands) Purchase price paid as: Cash $ 26,507 Working capital adjustment ( 961 ) Purchase price adjustment 125 Cash acquired ( 177 ) Purchase price, net of cash acquired 25,494 Fair value of net assets acquired: Inventory 370 Prepaid expenses and other 57 Property and equipment 6,487 Intangible assets 3,400 Total assets acquired 10,314 Customer deposits 1,575 Other current liabilities 32 Total liabilities assumed 1,607 Total fair value of net assets acquired 8,707 Excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired (“goodwill”) $ 16,787 Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as “Goodwill.” Goodwill relating to the Glacier Raft Company acquisition is included in the Pursuit reportable segment. The primary factor that contributed to the purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill related to future growth opportunities when combined with our other businesses. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. We included these assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets from the date of acquisition. Following are details of the purchase price allocated to the intangible assets acquired for the Glacier Raft Company: (in thousands) Amount Weighted Average Life Customer relationships $ 1,800 12 years Operating licenses 1,300 17 years Trade name 300 8 years Total $ 3,400 14 years Transaction costs associated with the acquisition were $ 0.2 million in 2022, which are included in “Costs of services” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The results of operations of Glacier Raft Company have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma information is not presented as revenue and the operating results of Glacier Raft Company, as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022, is not material to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. 2022 Disposition ON Services On December 15, 2022, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of GES’ United States audio-visual production business, ON Services – AV Specialists, Inc. (“ON Services”), for approximately $ 30.0 million, subject to customary working capital adjustments. We recognized a gain on sale of $ 19.6 million. ON Services had a net carrying value of $ 10.4 million, which included $ 4.9 million of net working capital and net non-current assets of $ 5.5 million. Working capital consisted primarily of accounts receivable of $ 8.2 million and other current assets of $ 0.7 million, offset in part by current liabilities of $ 4.0 million. Net non-current assets consisted primarily of property and equipment of $ 6.0 million, offset in part by other liabilities of $ 0.5 million. The staging business of ON Services was included in the Spiro reportable segment and the venue services business in the United States was included in the GES Exhibitions reportable segment. The ON Services sale did not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, and therefore was not classified as a discontinued operation for any of the periods presented. 2021 Acquisition Golden Skybridge On March 18, 2021 , we acquired a 60 % controlling interest in the Golden Skybridge attraction for total cash consideration of $ 15 million Canadian dollars (approximately $ 12 million U.S. dollars), of which $ 6 million Canadian dollars (approximately $ 4.8 million U.S. dollars) were primarily used to fund additional experiences. The Golden Skybridge opened in June 2021 . The fair value of net assets acquired as of the acquisition date included $ 2.2 million U.S. dollars in property and equipment and $ 6.8 million U.S. dollars in noncontrolling interest. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $ 11.8 million U.S. dollars was recorded as “Goodwill.” Goodwill relating to the Golden Skybridge acquisition is included in the Pursuit reportable segment. The primary factor that contributed to the purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill related to future growth opportunities when combined with our other businesses. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. We included these assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets from the date of acquisition. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition were $ 0.4 million U.S. dollars during 2021, which are included in “Costs of services” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 99,847 Business acquisition 11,776 Foreign currency translation adjustments 455 Balance at December 31, 2021 112,078 Business acquisition 16,787 Foreign currency translation adjustments ( 7,436 ) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 121,429 The following table summarizes the remaining goodwill by reporting unit: December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Pursuit: Banff Jasper Collection $ 62,383 $ 66,898 Alaska Collection 3,184 3,184 Glacier Park Collection 16,787 — FlyOver 39,075 41,996 Total Goodwill $ 121,429 $ 112,078 Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of October 31, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We use a discounted expected future cash flow methodology (income approach) to estimate the fair value of our reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. During 2020, we recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $ 185.8 million, which was primarily related to the write-off of all of GES’ goodwill due to the deteriorating macroeconomic environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our remaining goodwill balance as of December 31, 2022 of $ 121.4 million pertains to our Pursuit business. During 2022, we considered changes in macroeconomic facts and circumstances, particularly high inflation and the resulting rise in interest rates, which resulted in reduced fair values to our reporting units. As a result of our most recent impairment analysis performed as of October 31, 2022, the excess of the estimated fair value over the carrying value for our reporting units with reported goodwill (expressed as a percentage of the carrying amounts) under step one of the impairment test for the Banff Jasper Collection and the Alaska Collection was significant, and Glacier Park Collection was 17 % and FlyOver was 19 %. Accordingly, no impairment charges were recorded during 2022. We will continue to closely monitor actual results versus expectations as well as whether and to what extent any significant changes in current events or conditions result in corresponding changes to our expectations about future estimated cash flows and discount rates. If our adjusted expectations of the operating results of our reporting units do not materialize, or the discount rate increases (based on increases in interest rates, market rates of return or market volatility), it is possible that we may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in the future, which may be material. Our accumulated goodwill impairment was $ 415.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

(2) The weighted-average interest rate on total debt (including unamortized debt issuance costs and commitment fees) was 9.3 % for 2022, 6.4 % for 2021 and 4.6 % for 2020. The estimated fair value of total debt and finance leases was $ 301.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and $ 328.9 million as of December 31, 2021. The fair value of debt was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and maturity, which is a Level 2 measurement. Refer to Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements . (3) Cash paid for interest on debt was $ 34.3 million during 2022, $ 25.9 million during 2021, and $ 14.0 million during 2020. 2021 Credit Facility Effective July 30, 2021, we entered into a $ 500 million credit facility (the “2021 Credit Facility”). The 2021 Credit Facility provides for a $ 400 million term loan (“Term Loan B”) and a $ 100 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the Term Loan B, net of $ 14.8 million in related fees, were used to repay the $ 327 million outstanding balance under our then $ 450 million revolving credit facility and to provide for financial flexibility to fund future acquisitions and growth initiatives and for general corporate purposes. The 2021 Credit Facility provides us with the option to have interest calculated based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for one, three, or six-month tenors, plus credit spreads as detailed below under “Term Loan B” and “Revolving Credit Facility”. LIBOR Transition Amendment On February 6, 2023, we entered into the LIBOR Transition Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility to replace LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). In accordance with the LIBOR replacement provisions outlined in the 2021 Credit Facility, additional credit spread adjustments apply to SOFR ranging from 0.11448 % (for a one-month duration) up to 0.71513 % (for a 12-month duration). Refer to Note 24 – Subsequent Events . Interest Rate Cap Agreement On January 4, 2023, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with an effective date of January 31, 2023. The interest rate cap manages our exposure to interest rate increases on $ 300 million in borrowings under our 2021 Credit Facility and provides us with the right to receive payment if the one-month SOFR exceeds 5.00 %. Beginning on February 28, 2023, we will pay a fixed monthly deferred premium based on an annual rate of 0.3335 % for the interest rate cap, which matures on January 31, 2025 . Refer to Note 24 – Subsequent Events . Term Loan B The Term Loan B has a maturity date of July 30, 2028 and is subject to quarterly amortization of principal of $1 million. Interest rates are based on LIBOR plus a 5.00% credit spread, with a LIBOR floor of 0.50% . See discussion above under “LIBOR Transition.” The Term Loan B carries no financial covenants. Revolving Credit Facility The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of July 30, 2026 . As of December 31, 2022, capacity remaining under the revolving credit facility was $ 86.7 million, reflecting $ 100.0 million total facility size, less $ 13.3 million in outstanding letters of credit. In addition to borrowing based on one, three, or six month LIBOR tenors, we also have the option to borrow based on the “Base Rate”, which for any day is a fluctuating rate equal to the highest of the Fed Funds Rate plus 0.50 %, Bank of America’s publicly announced “prime rate”, and LIBOR plus 1.00 %. Credit spreads for LIBOR and Base Rate borrowings are based on Viad’s total net leverage ratio and range from 2.50 % to 3.50 % for LIBOR borrowings and from 1.50 % to 3.50 % for Base Rate borrowings. See discussion above under “LIBOR Transition.” Additionally, a 1.00 % floor applies to the Bate Rate. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an undrawn fee ranging from 0.30 % to 0.50 % that is based on Viad’s total net leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility carries financial covenants. On March 23, 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility, which modified the financial covenants as follows: • Maintain a total net leverage ratio of not greater than 4.75 to 1.00 at December 31, 2022 with a step-down to 4.50 to 1.00 at March 31, 2023, and 4.00 to 1.00 at June 30, 2023 and thereafter; and • Maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 at December 31, 2022 and thereafter. As of December 31, 2022, Viad’s total net leverage ratio was 3.15 to 1.00 , the interest coverage ratio was 3.67 to 1.00 , and we were in compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit facility. In addition to U.S. Dollar borrowings, we may borrow funds on the Revolving Credit Facility in Canadian Dollars based on the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, Pound Sterling based on the Sterling Overnight Index Average, and Euros based on the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, plus applicable credit spreads. No such borrowings had been made as of December 31, 2022. Forest Park Hotel Construction Loan Facility Effective May 17, 2022, Pursuit, through a 60% owned subsidiary, entered into a construction loan facility for borrowings up to $ 17.0 million Canadian dollars (approximately $ 13.3 million U.S. dollars) for the development and construction of the Forest Park Hotel in Jasper National Park. Construction of the hotel was completed in August 2022. As of December 31, 2022, funds of $ 1.4 million Canadian dollars (approximately $ 1.1 million U.S. dollars) were available for borrowing under the facility. The construction loan facility required interest only payments at Canada Prime plus 2.35 % through November 2023, at which time it was to be converted to a term loan with a maturity date of May 17, 2027 . During January 2023, we completed our final borrowing under the construction loan facility and the facility was converted, by way of an amendment to the loan agreement, to a term loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.5 % effective January 31, 2023. The term loan matures on February 1, 2028 and requires interest only payments through July 31, 2024. Refer to Note 24 – Subsequent Events . FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility Effective February 15, 2019, FlyOver Iceland ehf., (“FlyOver Iceland”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Esja, entered into a credit agreement with a € 5.0 million (approximately $ 5.6 million U.S. dollars) credit facility (the “FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility”) with an original maturity date of March 1, 2022 . The loan proceeds were used to complete the development of the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The loan bears interest at the three month Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus 4.9%. We entered into an addendum effective December 1, 2021 wherein the principal payments were deferred for twelve months beginning December 1, 2021, with the first payment due December 1, 2022 . The addendum extended the maturity date to March 1, 2025 , which was further extended to September 1, 2027 by way of an option as permitted in the addendum, and provided for a semi-annual waiver of certain covenants through June 30, 2022 with the first testing date as of December 31, 2022. Conditions to the addendum included securing additional capital of ISK 75.0 million (approximately $ 0.6 million) in January 2022, which was completed, in order to strengthen FlyOver Iceland’s liquidity position. There were no other changes to the terms of the FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility. Effective November 2, 2022, FlyOver Iceland received a waiver for the 2022 through 2023 financial covenants. FlyOver Iceland Term Loans During 2020, FlyOver Iceland entered into three term loans totaling ISK 90.0 million (approximately $ 0.7 million U.S. dollars) (the “FlyOver Iceland Term Loans”). The first term loan for ISK 10.0 million was entered into effective October 15, 2020 with a maturity date of April 1, 2023 and bears interest on a seven-day term deposit at the Central Bank of Iceland. The second term loan for ISK 30.0 million was entered into effective October 15, 2020 with a maturity date of October 1, 2024 and bears interest on a seven-day term deposit at the Central Bank of Iceland plus 3.07%. The third term loan for ISK 50.0 million was entered into effective December 29, 2020 with a maturity date of February 1, 2023 and bears interest at one-month Reykjavik InterBank Offered Rate (“REIBOR”) plus 4.99%. The Icelandic State Treasury guarantees supplemental loans provided by credit institutions to companies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the Icelandic State Treasury guaranteed the repayment of up to 85% of the principal and interest on the ISK 10.0 million and ISK 30.0 million term loans and 70% of the principal amount on the ISK 50.0 million term loan . Loan proceeds were used to fund FlyOver Iceland operations. Financing arrangements We have insurance premium financing arrangements in order to finance certain of our insurance premium payments. The financing arrangements are payable within the next 12 months and bear a weighted average interest rate of 4.9 %. Future maturities Aggregate annual maturities of debt (excluding finance obligations) as of December 31, 2022 are as follows: (in thousands) Credit Facilities Year ending December 31, 2023 $ 5,201 2024 5,931 2025 5,480 2026 5,480 2027 14,958 Thereafter 375,000 Total $ 412,050 The aggregate annual maturities and the related amounts representing interest on finance lease obligations are included in Note 20 – Leases and Other .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 13. Fair Value Measurements The fair value of an asset or liability is defined as the price that would be received by selling an asset or paying to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value guidance requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted prices and other observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value. Money market mutual funds and certain other mutual fund investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs. The fair value information related to these assets is summarized in the following tables: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (in thousands) December 31, 2022 Quoted Prices in Significant Significant Assets: Other mutual funds (1) $ 3,490 $ 3,490 $ — $ — Total assets at fair value on a recurring basis $ 3,490 $ 3,490 $ — $ — Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (in thousands) December 31, 2021 Quoted Prices Significant Significant Assets: Money market funds $ 11,003 $ 11,003 $ — $ — Other mutual funds (1) 4,057 4,057 — — Total assets at fair value on a recurring basis $ 15,060 $ 15,060 $ — $ — (1) We include other mutual funds in “Other investments and assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Common and Preferred Stock Preferred Stock We authorized two million shares of Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no ne of which was outstanding on December 31, 2022 and five million shares of Preferred Stock of which 141,827 shares are outstanding. Convertible Series A Preferred Stock On August 5, 2020, we entered into an investment agreement with funds managed by private equity firm Crestview Partners (the “Investment Agreement”), relating to the issuance of 135,000 shares of newly issued Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $ 135 million or $ 1,000 per share. The $ 135 million issuance was offset in part by $ 9.2 million of expenses related to the capital raise. We have classified the Convertible Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the existence of certain change in control provisions that are not solely within our control. The Convertible Series A Preferred Stock carries a 5.5 % cumulative quarterly dividend, which is payable in cash or in-kind at Viad’s option and is convertible at the option of the holders into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $ 21.25 per share. Dividends paid-in-kind increase the redemption value of the preferred stock. The redemption value of the preferred stock was $ 141.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Upon the occurrence of a change in control event, the holders have a right to require Viad to repurchase such preferred stock. During the year ended December 31, 2022, $ 7.8 million of dividends were declared, all of which were paid in cash. We intend to pay preferred stock dividends in cash for the foreseeable future. Holders of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with holders of Viad’s common stock on an as-converted basis. Common Stock Repurchases Our Board of Directors previously authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time at prevailing market prices. Effective February 7, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 500,000 shares. In March 2020, our Board of Directors suspended our share repurchase program. Prior to the suspension, we had repurchased 53,784 shares on the open market for $ 2.8 million in 2020. As of December 31, 2022 , 546,283 shares remain available for repurchase under all prior authorizations. Additionally, we repurchase shares related to tax withholding requirements on vested restricted stock awards. Refer to Note 3 – Share-Based Compensation .

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 17. Income Taxes We record current income tax expense for the amounts that we expect to report and pay on our income tax returns and deferred income tax expense for the change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) that significantly changed United States tax law. One part of this Tax Act required us to pay a deemed repatriation tax of $ 5.2 million on our cumulative foreign earnings and profit. After application of tax payments and credits, $ 1.0 million of the liability remains outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and is due in 2024.

Due to improved worldwide earnings in 2022, our $ 0.7 million reduction of the valuation allowance was the result of realizing net operating losses and other deferred tax assets in excess of the amount of net operating losses and other deferred tax assets added. Our state income tax benefit in 2021 includes $ 4.0 million related to the true up of our state net operating losses on an entity-by-entity approach. In 2020 and at the beginning of 2021, we filed certain tax elections to restructure how our foreign UK operations are taxed in the United States to maximize future tax benefits and minimize future compliance complexity. These elections resulted in a $ 3.0 million benefit in 2020 and a $ 4.7 million expense in 2021. Both of these amounts were offset by a change in the valuation allowance. We use significant judgment in forming conclusions regarding the recoverability of our deferred tax assets and evaluate all available positive and negative evidence to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. To the extent recovery does not appear likely, a valuation allowance must be recorded. In determining the recoverability of our deferred assets, we considered our cumulative loss incurred over the four-year period ended December 31, 2022 in each tax jurisdiction. Given the weight of objectively verifiable historical losses from our operations, we recorded a valuation allowance on all deferred tax assets in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, and our FlyOver operations in Iceland and Toronto. We had gross deferred tax assets of $ 110.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and $ 117.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The valuation allowance was $ 101.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and $ 103.5 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to utilization of net operating losses and deferred tax assets to offset current year income including the book gain on the disposition of the ON Service assets, which were offset by an increase to deferred assets for additional foreign tax credits and net operating losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2022, we had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $ 6.8 million, including $ 3.8 million against United States income tax, of which $ 1.9 million will begin to expire in 2023 with the remaining $ 1.9 million beginning to expire in 2027 . Foreign tax credits creditable against United Kingdom taxes was $ 3.0 million, which can be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2022, we had $ 0.7 million of United States research and development cre dit carryforwards will begin to expire in 2038. We recorded a valuation allowance on all tax credit carryforwards. We had gross federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $ 373.3 million as of December 31, 2022 and $ 366.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The net operating loss carryforwards for 2022 that relate to the United States federal, United Kingdom, Germany, and Poland may be carried forward indefinitely. Certain state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 164.6 million expire from 2023 through 2041 , although many states now have unlimited carryforwards. We recorded a valuation allowance on all net operating losses, except losses generated in Canada (excluding FlyOver Canada Toronto), the Netherlands, and Sky Lagoon in Iceland. During 2022, we carried back $ 9.7 million of the $ 13.8 million 2021 Canadian net operating losses to receive a $ 3.5 million refund of prior year taxes and realized a $ 0.3 million tax benefit. The remaining $ 4.1 million of Canadian net operating losses may be carried forward to offset taxable income in the next 20 years, of which we recorded a valuation allowance of $ 1.6 million for FlyOver Canada Toronto. The gross net operating losses of Iceland of $ 15.9 million will expire between five and ten years . N et operating losses related to our prior operations in Switzerland and Hong Kong was $ 6.9 million. It is more likely than not these net operating losses will not be realized as we have closed our operations in these jurisdictions. Therefore, a full valuation allowance is recorded. However, realization of these net operating losses is possible until the legal liquidation is complete. We have not recorded deferred taxes for withholding taxes on current unremitted earnings of our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and certain subsidiaries in Canada as there are no withholding taxes applied on the distributions of those current earnings in operations outside of the United States. We exercise judgment in determining the income tax provision for positions taken on prior returns when the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We classify liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions as “Other deferred items and liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets unless expected to be paid or released within one year. We had liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions of $ 0.9 million as of December 31, 2022 and $ 0.5 million as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, these amounts do not include any accrual of interest nor penalties as none would be owed on these amounts. We elected that all uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, are classified as a component of income tax expense. A reconciliation of the liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions (excluding interest and penalties) is as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 225 Additions for tax positions taken in prior years 25 Balance at December 31, 2020 250 Additions for tax positions taken in prior years 285 Balance at December 31, 2021 535 Reductions for lapse of applicable statutes ( 23 ) Additions for tax positions taken in prior years 378 Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 890 Our 2019 through 2021 United States federal tax years and various state tax years from 2018 through 2021 remain subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities. The tax years 2018 through 2021 remain subject to examination by various foreign taxing jurisdictions. We received net cash refunds from income taxes of $ 0.8 million during 2022, $ 7.1 million during 2021, and $ 14.9 million during 2020. Most of the $ 3.8 million gross cash refunds in 2022 were from the result of the carryback of net operating losses in Canada and in certain United States’ states. These cash refunds were generally offset by $ 2.4 million of cash payments made in other operations in Canada, $ 0.3 million of minimum state income taxes and $ 0.3 million net payments of other foreign income and withholding taxes.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Pension and Postretirement Benefits	Note 18. Pension and Postretirement Benefits Domestic Plans We have frozen defined benefit pension plans held in trust for certain employees which we funded. We also maintain certain unfunded defined benefit pension plans, which provide supplemental benefits to select management employees. These plans use traditional defined benefit formulas based on years of service and final average compensation. Funding policies provide that payments to defined benefit pension trusts shall be at least equal to the minimum funding required by applicable regulations. We also have certain defined benefit postretirement plans that provide medical and life insurance for certain eligible employees, retirees, and dependents.

Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status, and corporate financial condition. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed income securities. Furthermore, equity securities are diversified across United States and non-United States stocks, as well as growth and value. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews and annual liability measurements. We utilize a building-block approach in determining the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets. Historical markets are studied and long-term historical relationships between equity securities and fixed income securities are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are determined. The long-term portfolio return also considers diversification and rebalancing. Peer data and historical returns are reviewed relative to our assumed rates for reasonableness and appropriateness.

These plans use traditional defined benefit formulas based on years of service and final average compensation. Funding policies provide that payments to defined benefit pension trusts shall be at least equal to the minimum funding required by applicable regulations.

The financial risks of participating in these multi-employer pension plans generally include the fact that the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by solvent participating employers. In addition, if we were to discontinue participating in some of our multi-employer pension plans, we could be required to pay a withdrawal liability amount based on the underfunded status of the plan. Currently, we do not anticipate triggering any withdrawal from any multi-employer pension plan to which we currently contribute. We also contribute to defined contribution plans pursuant to collective bargaining agreements, which are generally not subject to the funding risks inherent in defined benefit pension plans. The overall level of contributions to our multi-employer plans may significantly vary from year to year based on the demand for union-represented labor to support our operations. We do not have any minimum contribution requirements for future periods pursuant to our collective bargaining agreements for individually significant multi-employer plans. Our participation in multi-employer pension plans for 2022 is outlined in the following table. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2022 and 2021 relates to the plan’s year end as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 , respectively, and is based on information received from the plan. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 % funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 % funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 % funded.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges	Note 19. Restructuring Charges GES As part of our efforts to drive efficiencies and simplify our business operations, we took certain restructuring actions designed to simplify and transform GES for greater profitability. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, we accelerated our transformation and streamlining efforts at GES to significantly reduce costs and create a lower and more flexible cost structure focused on servicing our more profitable market segments. These initiatives resulted in restructuring charges related to the elimination of certain positions and continuing to reduce our facility footprint at GES, as well as charges related to the closure and liquidation of GES’ United Kingdom-based audio-visual services business. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we entered into an agreement with a third-party to outsource the management, cleaning, and storage of the aisle carpeting that we use at live events, which resulted in restructuring charges in 2021 when we vacated a facility. Other Restructurings We recorded restructuring charges in connection with the consolidation of certain support functions at our corporate headquarters and certain reorganization activities within Pursuit. These charges primarily consist of severance and related benefits due to headcount reductions. Changes to the restructuring liability by major restructuring activity are as follows: GES Other Restructurings (in thousands) Severance & Facilities Severance & Total Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 2,935 $ 1,339 $ 239 $ 4,513 Restructuring charges 6,563 5,784 1,093 13,440 Cash payments ( 7,051 ) ( 2,573 ) ( 1,201 ) ( 10,825 ) Non-cash items (1) — ( 1,789 ) — ( 1,789 ) Adjustment to liability ( 7 ) 5 ( 107 ) ( 109 ) Balance at December 31, 2020 2,440 2,766 24 5,230 Restructuring charges 1,829 4,107 130 6,066 Cash payments ( 2,302 ) ( 3,506 ) ( 91 ) ( 5,899 ) Non-cash items (1) — ( 1,906 ) — ( 1,906 ) Adjustment to liability 9 ( 28 ) ( 37 ) ( 56 ) Balance at December 31, 2021 1,976 1,433 26 3,435 Restructuring charges 624 2,351 84 3,059 Cash payments ( 988 ) ( 863 ) ( 83 ) ( 1,934 ) Non-cash items (1) — ( 1,167 ) — ( 1,167 ) Adjustment to liability ( 3 ) 64 ( 15 ) 46 Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 1,609 $ 1,818 $ 12 $ 3,439 (1) Represents non-cash adjustments related to a write-down of certain ROU assets and leasehold improvements as a result of vacating certain facilities prior to the lease term during the year ended December 31, 2022, a write down of certain ROU assets as a result of vacating certain facilities prior to the lease term during the year ended December 31, 2021, and the closure and liquidation of GES’ United Kingdom-based audio-visual services business during the year ended December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2022 , $ 1.5 million of the liabilities related to severance and employee benefits and $ 1.5 million of liabilities related to facilities will remain unpaid by the end of 2023. The liabilities related to facilities primarily include dilapidations and non-lease expenses that will be paid over the remaining lease terms.

Litigation, Claims, Contingencies, and Other	Note 21. Litigation, Claims, Contingencies, and Other We are plaintiffs or defendants in various actions, proceedings, and pending claims, some of which involve, or may involve, compensatory, punitive, or other damages. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and it is possible that some of the legal actions, proceedings, or claims could be decided against us. Although the amount of liability as of December 31, 2022 with respect to unresolved legal matters is not ascertainable, we believe that any resulting liability, after taking into consideration amounts already provided for and insurance coverage, will not have a material effect on our business, financial position, or results of operations. On July 18, 2020, an off-road Ice Explorer operated by our Pursuit business was involved in an accident while enroute to the Athabasca Glacier, resulting in three fatalities and multiple other serious injuries. We continue to support the victims and their families. We immediately reported the accident to our relevant insurance carriers, who are also supporting the investigation and subsequent claims. In May 2022, we received charges from the Canadian office of Occupational Health and Safety in relation to this accident. We continue to cooperate fully with regulatory agencies regarding this accident. In addition, we believe that our reserves and, subject to customary deductibles, our insurance coverage is sufficient to cover potential claims and regulatory fines related to this accident. We are subject to various United States federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations governing the prevention of pollution and the protection of the environment in the jurisdictions in which we have or had operations. If we fail to comply with these environmental laws and regulations, civil and criminal penalties could be imposed, and we could become subject to regulatory enforcement actions in the form of injunctions and cease and desist orders. As is the case with many companies, we also face exposure to actual or potential claims and lawsuits involving environmental matters relating to our past operations. As of December 31, 2022 , we had recorded environmental remediation liabilities of $ 2.2 million related to previously sold operations. Although we are a party to certain environmental disputes, we believe that any resulting liabilities, after taking into consideration amounts already provided for and insurance coverage, will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. As of December 31, 2022, on behalf of our subsidiaries, we had certain obligations under guarantees to third parties. These guarantees are not subject to liability recognition in the consolidated financial statements and relate to leased facilities and equipment leases entered into by our subsidiary operations. We would generally be required to make payments to the respective third parties under these guarantees in the event that the related subsidiary could not meet its own payment obligations. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we would be required to make under all guarantees existing as of December 31, 2022 would be $ 88.2 million. These guarantees relate to our leased equipment and facilities through January 2040 . There are no recourse provisions that would enable us to recover from third parties any payments made under the guarantees. Furthermore, there are no collateral or similar arrangements pursuant to which we could recover payments. A significant number of our employees are unionized and we are a party to approximately 100 collective bargaining agreements, with approximately one-third requiring renegotiation each year. If we are unable to reach an agreement with a union during the collective bargaining process, the union may call for a strike or work stoppage, which may, under certain circumstances, adversely impact our business and results of operations. We believe that relations with our employees are satisfactory and that collective bargaining agreements expiring in 2023 will be renegotiated in the ordinary course of business. Although our labor relations are currently stable, disruptions could occur, with the possibility of an adverse impact on the operating results of GES. Refer to Note 18 – Pension and Postretirement Benefits for additional information on specific union-related pension matters. We are self-insured up to certain limits for workers’ compensation and general liabilities, which includes automobile, product general liability, and client property loss claims. The aggregate amount of insurance liabilities (up to our retention limit) related to our continuing operations was $ 9.9 million as of December 31, 2022 , which includes $ 5.9 million related to workers’ compensation liabilities, and $ 4.0 million related to general liability claims. We have also retained and provided for certain workers’ compensation insurance liabilities in conjunction with previously sold businesses of $ 2.1 mil lion as of December 31, 2022 . We are also self-insured for certain employee health benefits and the estimated employee health benefit claims incurred but not yet reported was $ 1.5 million as of December 31, 2022 . Provisions for losses for claims incurred, including actuarially derived estimated claims incurred but not yet reported, are made based on our historical experience, claims frequency, and other factors. A change in the assumptions used could result in an adjustment to recorded liabilities. We have purchased insurance for amounts in excess of the self-insured levels, which generally range from $ 0.2 million to $ 0.5 million on a per claim basis. We do not maintain a self-insured retention pool fund as claims are paid from current cash resources at the time of settlement. Our net cash payments in connection with these insurance liabilities were $ 5.3 million for 2022 , $ 2.8 million for 2021 , and $ 5.0 million for 2020. In addition, as of December 31, 2022 , we have recorded insurance liabilities of $ 8.2 million related to continuing operations, which represents the amount for which we remain the primary obligor after self-insured insurance limits, without taking into consideration the above-referenced insurance coverage. Of this total, $ 6.4 million is related to workers’ compensation liabilities and $ 1.8 million is related to general/auto liability claims, which is recorded in “Other deferred items and liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding receivable in “Other investments and assets.”

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest	Note 22. Noncontrolling Interests – Redeemable and Non-redeemable Redeemable noncontrolling interest On November 3, 2017, we acquired the controlling interest ( 54.5 % of the common stock) in Esja, a private corporation in Reykjavik, Iceland. Subsequent to additional capital contributions, our equity ownership increased to 56.4 % as of December 31, 2022. Through Esja and its wholly-owned subsidiary, we are operating the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The minority Esja shareholders have the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a multiple of 5.0x EBITDA as calculated on the trailing 12 months from the most recently completed quarter before the put option exercise. The put option is only exercisable after August 2022 (the “Reference Date”), and in the event the FlyOver Iceland attraction has earned a minimum of €3.25 million in unadjusted EBITDA during the most recent fiscal year and during the trailing 12-month period prior to exercise (the “Put Option Condition”). The put option is exercisable during a period of 12 months following the Reference Date (the “Option Period”) if the Put Option Condition has been met. If the Put Option Condition has not been met during the first Option Period, the Reference Date will be extended for an additional 12 months up to three times. If after 72 months, the FlyOver Iceland attraction has not achieved the Put Option Condition, the put option expires. If the Put Option Condition is met during any of the Option Periods, yet the shares are not exercised prior to the end of the 12-month Option Period, the put option will expire. The noncontrolling interest’s carrying value is determined by the fair value of the noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date and the noncontrolling interest’s share of the subsequent net income or loss. This value is benchmarked against the redemption value of the sellers’ put option. The carrying value is adjusted to the redemption value, provided that it does not fall below the initial carrying value, as determined by the purchase price allocation. We have made a policy election to reflect any changes caused by such an adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit), rather than to current earnings (loss). Changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interest are as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 5,225 Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest ( 1,766 ) Adjustment to the redemption value 1,797 Capital contributions 341 Foreign currency translation adjustment ( 153 ) Balance at December 31, 2021 5,444 Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest ( 748 ) Adjustment to the redemption value 763 Foreign currency translation adjustment ( 503 ) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 4,956 Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Note 23. Segment Information An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. During the first quarter of 2022, we changed our segment reporting as a result of operational changes and how our CODM reviews the financial performance of GES and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Accordingly, GES’ new reportable segments are Spiro and GES Exhibitions. We made no changes to the Pursuit reportable segment. We measure the profit and performance of our operations on the basis of segment operating income (loss) which excludes restructuring charges, impairment charges, gain (loss) from disposition of strategic assets, and certain other corporate expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments. Intersegment sales are eliminated in consolidation and intersegment transfers are not significant. Corporate activities include expenses not allocated to operations. Our reportable segments, with reconciliations to consolidated totals, are as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Revenue: Pursuit $ 299,327 $ 187,048 $ 76,810 GES: Spiro 277,641 116,587 102,027 GES Exhibitions 557,880 209,529 238,705 GES intersegment eliminations ( 7,537 ) ( 5,824 ) ( 2,107 ) Total GES 827,984 320,292 338,625 Total revenue $ 1,127,311 $ 507,340 $ 415,435 Segment operating income (loss): Pursuit $ 24,031 $ 4,609 $ ( 42,343 ) GES: Spiro 23,133 ( 9,556 ) ( 41,217 ) GES Exhibitions 21,780 ( 42,055 ) ( 32,680 ) Total GES 44,913 ( 51,611 ) ( 73,897 ) Segment operating income (loss) 68,944 ( 47,002 ) ( 116,240 ) Corporate eliminations (1) 67 70 65 Corporate activities ( 13,418 ) ( 11,689 ) ( 8,687 ) Gain on sale of ON Services 19,637 — — Interest expense, net ( 34,891 ) ( 28,324 ) ( 17,887 ) Other expense, net ( 2,077 ) ( 2,070 ) ( 1,594 ) Restructuring charges: Pursuit ( 55 ) ( 85 ) ( 132 ) Spiro ( 1,015 ) ( 575 ) ( 1,011 ) GES Exhibitions ( 1,960 ) ( 5,361 ) ( 11,336 ) Corporate ( 29 ) ( 45 ) ( 961 ) Impairment charges: Pursuit — — ( 1,758 ) Spiro — — ( 43,403 ) GES Exhibitions ( 583 ) — ( 157,915 ) Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes $ 34,620 $ ( 95,081 ) $ ( 360,859 ) (1) Corporate eliminations represent the elimination of depreciation expense recorded by Pursuit associated with previously eliminated intercompany profit realized by GES for renovations to Pursuit’s Banff Gondola.

Geographic Areas Our foreign operations are primarily in Canada, the United Kingdom, Iceland, the Netherlands, Germany, and to a lesser extent, in certain other countries. GES revenue is designated as domestic or foreign based on the originating location of the product or service. Long-lived assets are attributed to domestic or foreign based principally on the physical location of the assets. Long-lived assets consist of “Property and equipment, net” and “Other investments and assets.” The table below presents the financial information by major geographic area: December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Revenue: United States $ 703,379 $ 312,265 $ 290,541 EMEA 207,339 96,603 56,656 Canada 216,593 98,472 68,238 Total revenue $ 1,127,311 $ 507,340 $ 415,435 Long-lived assets: United States $ 190,917 $ 179,756 $ 173,790 EMEA 85,680 91,877 56,996 Canada 290,438 294,193 276,860 Total long-lived assets $ 567,035 $ 565,826 $ 507,646

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Note 24. Subsequent Events Interest Rate Cap Agreement On January 4, 2023, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with an effective date of January 31, 2023. The interest rate cap manages our exposure to interest rate increases on $ 300 million in borrowings under our 2021 Credit Facility and provides us with the right to receive payment if the one-month SOFR exceeds 5.00 %. Beginning on February 28, 2023, we will pay a fixed monthly deferred premium based on an annual rate of 0.3335 % for the interest rate cap, which matures on January 31, 2025 . LIBOR Transition Amendment On February 6, 2023, we entered into the LIBOR Transition Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility to replace LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). In accordance with the LIBOR replacement provisions outlined in the 2021 Credit Facility, additional credit spread adjustments apply to SOFR ranging from 0.11448 % (for a one-month duration) up to 0.71513 % (for a 12-month duration). For additional information on the 2021 Credit Facility, refer to Note 12 – Debt and Finance Obligations . Forest Park Construction Loan Amendment During January 2023, we completed our final borrowing under the Forest Park Hotel Construction Loan Facility and the facility was converted, by way of an amendment to the loan agreement, to a term loan with a fixed interest rate of 6.5 % effective January 31, 2023. The term loan matures on February 1, 2028 and requires interest only payments through July 31, 2024. For additional information on the Forest Park Hotel Construction Loan Facility, refer to Note 12 – Debt and Finance Obligations .

Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Viad and its subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany account balances and transactions in consolidation.
Nature of Business	Nature of Business We are a leading global provider of extraordinary experiences, including hospitality and leisure activities, experiential marketing, and live events. We operate through three reportable segments: Pursuit, Spiro, and GES Exhibitions. During the first quarter of 2022, we rebranded GES’ brand experiences business and introduced Spiro to the market to accelerate our growth by servicing the changing needs of today’s brand marketers across a broader spectrum of their experiential marketing needs. Spiro and GES Exhibitions are both live event businesses and are collectively referred to as “GES.” Pursuit Pursuit is a collection of inspiring and unforgettable travel experiences that includes recreational attractions, unique hotels and lodges, food and beverage, retail, sightseeing, and ground transportation services. Pursuit comprises the Banff Jasper Collection, the Alaska Collection, the Glacier Park Collection, FlyOver, and Sky Lagoon. Spiro Spiro is an experiential marketing agency that partners with leading brands around the world to manage and elevate their global experiential marketing activities. GES Exhibitions GES Exhibitions is a global exhibition services company that partners with leading exhibition and conference organizers as a full-service provider of strategic and logistics solutions to manage the complexity of their shows. Impact of COVID-19 and Macroeconomic Factors The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the economies of countries in which we operate, including supply chain and labor challenges, and the ability of guests to travel from certain countries. However, during 2022 international tourism and live event activity continued to improve and demand for our products and services remained strong. It is not currently possible to estimate the duration and continued evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore no assurance can be given that an extended period of global economic disruption would not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations in future periods. During 2022, changes in macroeconomic facts and circumstances, particularly high inflation and the resulting rise in interest rates, has increased our interest expense. The additional impacts of these macroeconomic developments on our operations cannot be predicted with certainty, but could have adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations in future periods.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications During the first quarter of 2022, we changed our segment reporting as a result of operational changes and how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews the financial performance of GES and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources. As a result, we changed the presentation of certain items in GES’ disaggregation of revenue and reportable segments. Refer to Note 2 – Revenue and Related Contract Costs and Contract Liabilities and Note 23 – Segment Information for additional information. We reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to current-period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things: impairment testing of recorded goodwill and intangible assets and long-lived assets; allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable; sales reserve allowances; provisions for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions; valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets; liabilities for losses related to self-insured liability claims; liabilities for losses related to environmental remediation obligations; sublease income associated with restructuring liabilities; pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations; share-based compensation costs; the discount rates used to value lease obligations; the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests; and the allocation of purchase price of acquired businesses. These estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions, such as the uncertainty regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, global inflationary pressures, and volatility in foreign exchange rates. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents are highly-liquid investments with remaining maturities when purchased of three months or less . Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank demand deposits. Restricted cash represents collateral required for surety bonds, bank guarantees, letters of credit , and corporate credit cards. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consisted of the following: December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 59,719 $ 61,600 Restricted cash included in other current assets 4,845 2,703 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows $ 64,564 $ 64,303
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts	Allowances for Doubtful Accounts Allowances for doubtful accounts reflect the best estimate of expected losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The allowances for doubtful accounts, including a sales allowance for discounts at the time of sale, are based upon an evaluation of the aging of receivables, historical trends, and the current economic environment.
Inventories	Inventories We state inventories, which consist primarily of exhibit design and construction materials and supplies, as well as retail inventory, at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out and specific identification methods) or net realizable value.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: buildings, 15 to 40 years; equipment, 3 to 12 years; and leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the lease term or useful life. Property and equipment are tested for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable through undiscounted cash flows.
Leases	Leases We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the balance sheet and classify leases as either finance or operating leases. The classification of the lease determines whether we recognize the lease expense on an effective interest method basis (finance lease) or on a straight-line basis (operating lease) over the lease term. In determining whether an agreement contains a lease, we consider if we have a right to control the use of the underlying asset during the lease term in exchange for an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities at commencement date, which is when the underlying asset is available for use to a lessee, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our operating and finance leases are primarily facility, equipment, and land leases. Our facility leases comprise mainly manufacturing facilities, sales and design facilities, offices, storage and/or warehouses, and truck marshaling yards for our GES business. These facility leases have lease terms ranging up to 29 years. Our equipment leases comprise mainly vehicles, hardware, and office equipment, each with various lease terms. Our land leases comprise mainly leases in Canada and Iceland on which our Pursuit hotels or attractions are located and have lease terms ranging up to 46 years. If a lease contains a renewal option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, then the lease term includes the optional periods in measuring a ROU asset and lease liability. We evaluate the reasonably certain threshold at lease commencement, and it is typically met if we identify substantial economic incentives or termination penalties. We do not include variable leases and variable non-lease components in the calculation of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability. For facility leases, variable lease costs include the costs of common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance for which we pay our lessors an estimate that is adjusted to actual expense on a quarterly or annual basis depending on the underlying contract terms. We expense these variable lease payments as incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Substantially all of our lease agreements do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, and as such, we utilize an incremental borrowing rate based on lease term and country in order to calculate the present value of our future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a risk-adjusted rate on a collateralized basis and is the expected rate at which we would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with the lease term and the country. We are also a lessor to third party tenants who either lease certain portions of facilities that we own or sublease certain portions of facilities that we lease. We record lease income from owned facilities as rental income and we record sublease income from leased facilities as an offset to lease expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We classify all of our leases for which we are the lessor as operating leases.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of October 31, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We use a discounted expected future cash flow methodology (income approach) to estimate the fair value of our reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. The estimates and assumptions regarding expected future cash flows, discount rates, and terminal values require considerable judgment and are based on market conditions, financial forecasts, industry trends, and historical experience. These estimates, however, have inherent uncertainties and different assumptions could lead to materially different results.
Self-Insurance Liabilities	Self-Insurance Liabilities We are self-insured up to certain limits for workers’ compensation and general liabilities, which includes automobile, product general liability, and client property loss claims. We have also retained and provided for certain workers’ compensation insurance liabilities in conjunction with previously sold operations. We are also self-insured for certain employee health benefits. Provisions for losses for claims incurred, including actuarially derived estimated claims incurred but not yet reported, are made based on historical experience, claims frequency, and other factors. We have purchased insurance for amounts in excess of the self-insured levels.
Environmental Remediation Liabilities	Environmental Remediation Liabilities Environmental remediation liabilities represent the estimated cost of environmental remediation obligations primarily associated with previously sold operations. The amounts accrued primarily consist of the estimated direct incremental costs, on an undiscounted basis, for contractor and other services related to remedial actions and post-remediation site monitoring. Environmental remediation liabilities are recorded when the specific obligation is considered probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. Subsequent recoveries from third parties, if any, are recorded through discontinued operations when realized. Environmental insurance is maintained that provides coverage for new and undiscovered pre-existing conditions at both our continuing and discontinued operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Refer to Note 12 – Debt and Finance Obligations for the estimated fair value of debt obligations.
Convertible Preferred Stock	Convertible Preferred Stock We record shares of convertible preferred stock based on proceeds received net of costs on the date of issuance. Dividends paid-in-kind increase the redemption value of the preferred stock. Redeemable preferred stock (including preferred stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as mezzanine equity and is reported between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Noncontrolling Interests - Non-redeemable and Redeemable	Noncontrolling Interests – Non-redeemable and Redeemable Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. We report non-redeemable noncontrolling interest within stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to Viad and the non-redeemable noncontrolling interest is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We consider noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within our control to be redeemable noncontrolling interests. Our redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to our 56.4 % equity ownership interest in Esja Attractions ehf. (“Esja”), which owns the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The Esja shareholders agreement contains a put option that gives the minority Esja shareholders the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a calculated formula within a predefined term. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is considered mezzanine equity and we report it between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of the net income or loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the accretion of the redemption value is recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings or accumulated deficit and is included in our income (loss) per share. Refer to Note 22 – Noncontrolling Interests – Redeemable and Non-redeemable for additional information.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation Our foreign operations are primarily in Canada, the United Kingdom, Iceland, the Netherlands, Germany, and to a lesser extent, in certain other countries. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is their local currency. Accordingly, for purposes of consolidation, we translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The unrealized gains or losses resulting from the translation of these foreign denominated assets and liabilities are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For purposes of consolidation, revenue, expenses, gains, and losses related to our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the period. We also have certain loans and leases in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency, which results in gains or losses as exchange rates fluctuate and are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on a specified amount of consideration in a contract with a customer, net of commissions paid to customers and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a product or delivering the service to a customer. Pursuit’s service revenue is derived through its admissions, accommodations, and transportation services. Product revenue is derived through food and beverage and retail sales. Revenue is recognized at the time services are performed or upon delivery of the product. Pursuit’s service revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits, and product revenue is recognized at a point in time. GES’ service revenue is primarily derived through its comprehensive range of marketing, event production, and other related services to event organizers and corporate brand marketers. GES’ service revenue is earned over time over the duration of the live event, which generally lasts one to three days.

Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation Share-based compensation costs related to all share-based payment awards are recognized and measured using the fair value method of accounting. These awards generally include restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), and stock options, and contain forfeiture and non-compete provisions. We issue share-based payment awards from shares held in treasury. Future vesting is generally subject to continued employment. Holders of share-based awards have the right to receive dividends and vote the shares, but may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber the stock, except to the extent restrictions have lapsed and in accordance with our stock trading policy. We account for share-based payment awards that will be settled in cash as liability-based awards, which includes PRSUs and restricted stock units. We measure share-based compensation expense of liability-based awards at fair value at each reporting date until the date of settlement based on the number of units expected to vest and, where applicable, the level of achievement of predefined performance goals. These awards are remeasured on each reporting date based on our stock price and the Monte Carlo simulation model. A Monte Carlo simulation requires the use of several assumptions, including historical volatility and correlation between our stock price and the price of the common shares of a comparator group, a risk-free rate of return, and an expected term. Share-based compensation expense related to liability-based awards is recognized ratably over the requisite service period of approximately three years . We account for share-based awards that will be settled in shares of our common stock as equity-based awards, which include PRSUs, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards. We measure share-based compensation expense of equity-based awards at fair value on the grant date on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The estimated number of shares to be achieved is updated each reporting period based on the number of units expected to vest and, where applicable, the level of achievement of predefined performance goals, until the date of settlement. Share-based compensation expense related to equity-based awards is recognized ratably over the requisite service period ranging from one to three years . The fair value of stock option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model. We grant non-qualified stock options that are performance-based and service-based. The performance-based awards are recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period ranging up to 3.4 years, and the underlying shares expected to be settled are adjusted each reporting period based on estimated future achievement of the respective performance metrics. The service-based awards are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period on a graded-vesting schedule ranging from one to three years . The exercise price of stock options is based on the market value of our common stock at the date of grant.
Common Stock in Treasury	Common Stock in Treasury Common stock purchased for treasury is recorded at historical cost. Subsequent share reissuances are primarily related to share-based compensation programs and recorded at weighted-average cost.
Income Per Common Share	Income (Loss) Per Common Share Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class method or as-converted method. The two-class method uses net income (loss) available to common stockholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares other than the participating securities. The as-converted method uses net income (loss) available to common shareholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares including the participating securities. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted share units and convertible preferred stock. We apply the two-class method in calculating income (loss) per common share as unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and preferred stock are considered participating securities. Accordingly, such securities are included in the earnings allocation in calculating income (loss) per share. The adjustment to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is reflected in income (loss) per common share.
Government Assistance	Government Assistance We received government assistance of approximately $ 2.7 million in 2022, $ 21.6 million in 2021, and $ 27.7 million in 2020. Benefits received were primarily from the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) program, the United Kingdom’s COVID Job Retention Scheme (“CJRS”), and two Netherlands programs referred to as NOW and TVL. We have no provisions for recapture and are currently completing the audit process for the NOW proceeds received in 2021. The CEWS program was implemented by the Canadian government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic for businesses operating in Canada. Our Canadian subsidiaries within Pursuit and GES qualified for and applied for these CEWS cash benefits to partially offset the impacts of revenue reductions and on-going staffing costs. During 2022, GES received approximately $ 1.4 million in CEWS benefits. During 2021, Pursuit received approximately $ 11.6 million and GES received approximately $ 1.9 million. During 2020, Pursuit received approximately $ 12.8 million and GES received approximately $ 1.2 million. The CEWS benefits were recorded to “Costs of services” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The CJRS program was implemented by the United Kingdom government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to allow employers to retain and continue to pay their furloughed employees. Furloughed employees were paid 80 % of their salary up to a maximum of GBP 2,500 per month. During July 2021, employers were required to contribute 10 % of the furloughed employees salary, which increased to 2 0 % before the program closed on September 30, 2021. Payments were handled by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, or HMRC. GES received approximately $ 0.9 million in 2021 and $ 8.4 million in 2020, which were recorded to “Costs of services” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The NOW and TVL programs were implemented by the Dutch government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The NOW program is a temporary emergency bridging measure to reimburse up to 85 % of employees’ salaries. This program is still in effect and payments are handled by the Employee Insurance Agency, or UWV. The TVL program is a business support program focused on non-labor business expenses. The amounts claimed is based on lost income of more than 30 %. Payments are handled by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, or RVO. GES received approximately $ 0.6 million in 2022, $ 3.0 million in 2021, and $ 2.2 million in 2020 for both NOW and TVL programs, which were recorded to “Costs of services” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining benefits received were from various other programs totaling $ 0.7 million in 2022, $ 4.2 million in 2021, and $ 3.1 million in 2020.
